The above photo is to compare what size jack was getting around at during his 1st preseason.
Huge difference.

Do we reckon he's got 22 games in him, if he stays injury free?

Yeh I do. I know at times last year he struggled (as you can expect with most 18 year olds) but just at the time where people were saying he needed to be dropped, he came out and blitzed it against the eagles.
The more games he plays the more consistent he'll get. And to be honest, I don't really think playing in the VFL would benefit Jack that much, he showed last year he's a step above VFL already.

Here's what the 2015 Champion Data Prospectus had to say about Billings:

He recorded a kick rating of +6.7% - the sixth best of any general forward in the league behind the likes of Rioli, Ballantyne and Goodes.

His kicks inside 50 had a retention rate of 45% - ranked 3rd of the top 10 players at the club to kick the ball inside 50.

He kicked the 2nd most goals of any debutant and ranked 2nd at the club for total scoreboard impact and 1st for goal assists per game.

Billings has proven to be durable as well so far, a characteristic that you always find in elite players. It will be interesting to see how he operates in the midfield.

Via @ScottyBarby on Twitter, who is always a great source of AFL/NBA stats, Billings was rated the 3rd best field kick of all players with 100+ kicks.

Not bad considering the commentators against the bulldogs wouldn't shut up about his kicking being bad.

I think that was about his right boot ability. Which made his right foot goal to keep us in the game even sweeter! I told Lingy all about it on Twitter if it makes you feel better.

More proof that Darcy's douche factor doubles for Doggies games.

Old quoting here, but love him or hate him, Garry Lyon has more then once highly complemented Billing's delivery inside 50 as being in the best of the league.

 

[Flandersss]

Prefer Billings over Bontempelli anyday of the week!

Don't get the hype with Bonts tbh, Lewis Taylor was a deserving winner, he actually played all year.

interesting to see he's trained purely with the mids so far. There's something about this kid, I honestly believe one day he'll be in the top 5 players in the comp.

Might just be me but when billings has the ball he reminds me a bit ( big call) of Robert harvey, just seems to have plenty of time and that short kick that harvey had.

Heh, I was just about to flick the last few posts over to the General AFL thread - which strangely enough has a very similar current topic of conversation going on.

What about that Jack Billing averages twice as many marks and more scoring shots than 200cm full forward phenom 7 million dollar man Tom Boyd?

No, but he's just so neat isn't he.

Does a lot right. Who was that that had said he dominated an earlier hit out? May have been his lull!
